"As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another."
-Proverbs 27:17
The practice of sharpening requires two pieces of iron, each getting sharper with the help of the other. Together, both will become stronger, more effective tools. This concept is at the heart of the #sharperwithirons school board campaign platform. RCPS is already strong. However, there are things we can sharpen; Hilary has unique skills & attributes which will bring the concept of increased strength & efficiency to life in the RCPS system.

Commonly Asked Questions
These are the questions that I am commonly asked with brief answers on where I stand. I welcome all citizens to connect with me for deeper insight and conversation.
Get the facts straight from me:
As a candidate committed to parental rights, student health, and academic excellence, I also proudly support:
✅ Governor Youngkin’s Model Policies — I support Governor Youngkin's model policies, which affirm the role of parents in their child’s education and ensuring that schools respect family values.
✅ Parents Rights – Parents are constitutionally guaranteed authority over their own children. Public education should not undermine individual family values.
✅ The Review of Library Books — I am 100% in favor of properly reviewing the books in our school library so that parents can trust what their kids bring home. I support a collaborative process that respects parental rights while ensuring libraries support educational objectives and encourage critical thinking.
✅ Gender-Specific Sports & Bathrooms — it's simple: I do not support mixing genders in bathrooms or sports. Maintaining separate spaces and sports teams based on biological sex ensures fairness and safety for all students.
Together, let’s protect family values, restore common sense, and keep decisions in our valley community.
